It focuses on exploring two main thematic areas: a) health status and health care, b) views on the health system and its functioning. The first area includes questions related to the respondent's health status, health care, access to and use of health services, views on health, illness and treatment. The second area consists of questions related to respondents' views on the health system and its functioning, trust in the health system as well as satisfaction with the health system.
